Abstract

An ester made from an oxidised polyethylene wax and a monofunctional C1- to C8-alkanol has, as a lubricant, a very strong release action in thermoplastic moulding compositions, in particular based on vinyl chloride polymers. In addition, it does not reduce the transparency, in particular in calendered films or sheeting.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Ester von einem oxidierten Polyethylenwachs, der als Gleitmittel für die thermoplastische Verarbeitung von Kunststoffen, insbesondere auf der Basis von Vinylpolymeren, dient.The invention relates to an ester of an oxidized polyethylene wax, which serves as a lubricant for the thermoplastic processing of plastics, in particular based on vinyl polymers.

Thermoplastische Kunststoffe werden in der Regel oberhalb ihres Schmelzpunktes verarbeitet. Die Art der Verarbeitung richtet sich hierbei nach den Eigenschaften des verwendeten Kunststoffs sowie nach der Form des angestrebten Endprodukts. Ganz überwiegend angewendete Verarbeitungsverfahren sind das Spritzgießen, bei welchem die Schmelze in eine Form eingespritzt und der geformte Artikel nach dem Abkühlen unter Schmelzpunkt entnommen wird; das Kalandrieren, bei welchem Folien oder Platten zwischen den Walzenpaaren eines Kalanders geformt werden, oder die verschiedenen Extrusionsverfahren, nach denen z.B. Schläuche, Profile, Rohre und ähnliche Artikel hergestellt werden.Thermoplastic plastics are usually processed above their melting point. The type of processing depends on the properties of the plastic used and the shape of the end product sought. The most widely used processing methods are injection molding, in which the melt is injected into a mold and the shaped article is removed after cooling below the melting point; calendering, in which films or sheets are formed between the pairs of rolls of a calender, or the various extrusion processes according to which e.g. Hoses, profiles, pipes and similar articles can be manufactured.

Zahlreiche Kunststoffschmelzen zeigen ein großes Haftvermögen an den metallischen Teilen der Verarbeitungsmaschinen, woraus häufig Verarbeitungsprobleme entstehen können. Beim Spitzguß wird beispielsweise die Entnahme der Artikel aus der Form erschwert, wobei nicht nur die Gefahr ihrer Beschädigung besteht, sondern es auch zu Betriebsstörungen durch nicht entnehmbare Teile kommen kann. Bei der Folienherstellung führt ein Haften der Schmelze zu einer rauhen Oberfläche und zu Dickenschwankungen infolge von unkontrollierbaren Dehnungen beim Abzug von den Walzen.Numerous plastic melts show great adhesion to the metal parts of the processing machines, which can often lead to processing problems. In the case of injection molding, for example, the removal of the articles from the mold is made more difficult, and not only is there a risk of their damage, but malfunctions can also occur due to parts which cannot be removed. In film production, sticking of the melt leads to a rough surface and to fluctuations in thickness as a result of uncontrollable stretching when being pulled off the rolls.

Um diesen Problemen zu begegnen, werden bei der Verarbeitung Gleit- und Formtrennmittel zugesetzt, die einen trennwirksamen Film zwischen der Polymerschmelze und der Verarbeitungsmaschine aufbauen.In order to counter these problems, lubricants and mold release agents are added during processing, some of them Build a separating film between the polymer melt and the processing machine.

Für die große Gruppe der Vinylpolymeren und hierbei insbesondere für das Polyvinylchlorid werden zumindest bei hochwertigen Anwendungen zwei Gruppen von äußeren Gleitmitteln bevorzugt eingesetzt.For the large group of vinyl polymers, and in particular for polyvinyl chloride, two groups of external lubricants are preferably used, at least in high-quality applications.

Bekannt ist ein Gleitmittel für die formgebende Verarbeitung thermoplastischer Massen, welches Mischester mit Hydroxyl- bzw. Säurezahlen von 0 bis 6 aus a) aliphatischen, cycloaliphatischen und/oder aromatischen Dicarbonsäuren, b) aliphatischen Polyolen und c) aliphatischen Monocarbonsäuren mit 12 bis 30 C-Atomen im Molekül enthält (vgl. DE 1 907 768). Die bevorzugten Ester basieren auf Fettsäuren mit nicht mehr als 22 C-Atomen.A lubricant for the shaping processing of thermoplastic compositions is known, which mixed ester with hydroxyl or acid numbers from 0 to 6 from a) aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and / or aromatic dicarboxylic acids, b) aliphatic polyols and c) aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with 12 to 30 C - Contains atoms in the molecule (cf. DE 1 907 768). The preferred esters are based on fatty acids with no more than 22 carbon atoms.

Weitere bekannte Gleitmittel sind die verschiedenen halbsynthetischen Wachse auf Basis Montanwachs.Other known lubricants are the various semi-synthetic waxes based on montan wax.

Obwohl die beiden genannten Gleitmitteltypen zu den wirksamsten aller Gleitmittel gehören, vereinigen sie jeweils für sich allein betrachtet nur einen Teil der Anforderungen, die an ein ideales Gleitmittel zu stellen sind. Die Montansäurederivate zeigen eine gute Trennwirkung und verleihen insbesondere bei der PVC-Verarbeitung der Schmelze eine hohe Festigkeit und dem Endprodukt eine sehr gute Wärmeformbeständigkeit. Nachteilig ist jedoch ihre Trübungsneigung, vor allem in nicht schlagzäh modifiziertem PVC, wodurch ihre Einsatzmenge gelegentlich auf Kosten einer ausreichenden Trennwirkung stark limitiert wird.Even though the two types of lubricant mentioned are among the most effective of all lubricants, they alone, when considered individually, only combine some of the requirements that must be met by an ideal lubricant. The montanic acid derivatives have a good separating action and, particularly when processing PVC, give the melt high strength and the end product a very good heat resistance. However, their tendency to cloud is disadvantageous, especially in non-impact-modified PVC, as a result of which their use is occasionally severely limited at the expense of a sufficient separating action.

Zudem führt die Verwendung herkömmlicher Montansäureester bei der Herstellung von PVC-Kalanderfolien zu hohen Drücken im Walzenspalt der Verarbeitungsmaschine und damit zu einer hohen Belastung (Spaltlast). Sowohl einfache Fettsäureester, wie z.B. Stearylstearat, als auch die oben erwähnten oligomeren Fettsäureester vermindern die Spaltlast bei der PVC-Verarbeitung. Nachteilig ist jedoch, daß sie zugleich die Schmelzfestigkeit und die Wärmeformbeständigkeit des PVC herabsetzen. In nicht schlagzäh modifiziertem PVC zeigen sowohl einfache als auch oligomere Fettsäureester darüberhinaus ein günstigeres Transparenzverhalten als Montansäurederivate.In addition, the use of conventional montanic acid esters in the manufacture of PVC calender foils leads to high pressures in the nip of the processing machine and thus to a high load (nip load). Both simple Fatty acid esters, such as stearyl stearate, as well as the above-mentioned oligomeric fatty acid esters reduce the gap load in PVC processing. However, it is disadvantageous that they simultaneously reduce the melt strength and the heat resistance of the PVC. In non-impact modified PVC, both simple and oligomeric fatty acid esters also show more favorable transparency behavior than montanic acid derivatives.

Bekannt ist die Anwendung eines Esters des Stearylalkohols mit einem Polyethylenoxidat, welches 71 % Dicarbonsäuren enthält, als Gleitmittel für die Verarbeitung von PVC (vgl. CA 1007398). Die Gleitwirkung des Produktes ist gut, das Produkt trübt jedoch sehr stark das PVC und ist daher als Gleitmittel für transparente PVC-Formmassen ungeeignet. Es wird in dieser Druckschrift zwar erwähnt, daß die Polyethylenoxidate auch mit Ethanol verestert werden können, es deutet nichts darauf hin, daß ein derartiger Ester ein brauchbares Gleitmittel für PVC abgeben könnte.It is known to use an ester of stearyl alcohol with a polyethylene oxidate, which contains 71% dicarboxylic acids, as a lubricant for the processing of PVC (cf. CA 1007398). The product's lubricity is good, but the product cloudes the PVC very much and is therefore unsuitable as a lubricant for transparent PVC molding compounds. Although it is mentioned in this document that the polyethylene oxidates can also be esterified with ethanol, there is nothing to suggest that such an ester could give a useful lubricant for PVC.

Weil die zur Zeit verfügbaren anderen Gleit- und Trennmittel die Anforderungen jeweils nur zum Teil erfüllen, wird in der Regel mit Gleitmittelmischungen gearbeitet. Diese Vorgehensweise führt jedoch dazu, daß die Rezepte recht kompliziert werden und nachteilige Wechselwirkungen zwischen den zahlreichen Bestandteilen auftreten können. Zudem erfordern mehr Rezeptbestandteile eine größere Lagerhaltung und aufwendigere Dosier- und Mischeinrichtungen bei der Verarbeitung.Because the other lubricants and release agents currently available only partially meet the requirements, lubricant mixtures are generally used. However, this procedure leads to the fact that the recipes become quite complicated and disadvantageous interactions between the numerous components can occur. In addition, more recipe components require greater storage and more complex dosing and mixing devices during processing.

Es bestand daher ein Bedarf an Gleitmitteln, welche die positiven Eigenschaften der Montansäurederivate und der oligomeren Fettsäureester in sich vereinen und dabei nicht die beschriebenen Nachteile dieser Gleitmittel zeigen.There was therefore a need for lubricants which combine the positive properties of the montanic acid derivatives and the oligomeric fatty acid esters and do not show the disadvantages of these lubricants described.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß bestimmte Ester, die aus oxidiertem Polyethylenwachsen und niederen Alkoholen entstehen, diese Anforderungen besonders gut erfüllen. Die Erfindung betrifft somit einen Ester aus

  • a) einem oxidierten Polyethylenwachs mit einer Säurezahl von 10 bis 100 mg KOH/g und einer Verseifungszahl von 15 bis 150 mg KOH/g und
  • b) einem monofunktionellen C₁- bis C₈-Alkanol mit einer Säurezahl von 0 bis 40 mg KOH/g, einer Verseifungszahl von 15 bis 140 mg KOH/g und einer Schmelzviskosität bei 140 °C von 200 bis 2000 mPa·s.
It has now been found that certain esters which arise from oxidized polyethylene waxes and lower alcohols meet these requirements particularly well. The invention thus relates to an ester
  • a) an oxidized polyethylene wax with an acid number of 10 to 100 mg KOH / g and a saponification number of 15 to 150 mg KOH / g and
  • b) a monofunctional C₁ to C₈ alkanol with an acid number of 0 to 40 mg KOH / g, a saponification number of 15 to 140 mg KOH / g and a melt viscosity at 140 ° C of 200 to 2000 mPa · s.

Die Erfindung betrifft jedoch auch eine thermoplastische Kunststoff-Formmasse, welche den vorgenannten Ester enthält.However, the invention also relates to a thermoplastic molding compound which contains the aforementioned ester.

Der erfindungsgemäße Ester entsteht durch Veresterung eines oxidierten Polyethylenwachses mit einem monofunktionellen C₁- C₈-Alkanol. Das oxidierte Polyethylenwachs hat eine Säurezahl von 10 bis 100, vorzugsweise 50 bis 70 mg KOH/g und eine Verseifungszahl von 15 bis 150, vorzugsweise 85 bis 120 mg KOH/g. Es kann beispielsweise durch Oxidation von Polyethylenwachsschmelzen mittels Luft gewonnen werden. Auch ist es möglich, ein durch Luftoxidation von kunststoffartigem verzweigten oder unverzweigten Polyethylen hergestelltes Wachs einzusetzen, wie es beispielsweise nach dem in der US-PS 3,756,999 beschriebenen Verfahren zugänglich ist.The ester of the invention is formed by esterification of an oxidized polyethylene wax with a monofunctional C₁-C₈ alkanol. The oxidized polyethylene wax has an acid number of 10 to 100, preferably 50 to 70 mg KOH / g and a saponification number of 15 to 150, preferably 85 to 120 mg KOH / g. It can be obtained, for example, by oxidation of polyethylene wax melts using air. It is also possible to use a wax produced by air oxidation of plastic-like branched or unbranched polyethylene, as can be obtained, for example, by the process described in US Pat. No. 3,756,999.

Die Alkoholkomponente des erfindungsgemäßen Esters ist ein monofunktionelles C₁- bis C₈-Alkanol, vorzugsweise ein C₁- bis C₃-Alkanol, beispielsweise Methanol, Ethanol, n- oder i-Propanol, Butanole, Pentanole, Hexanole, Heptanole und Octanole. Bevorzugt sind Methanol, Ethanol, n-Propanol und i-Propanol.The alcohol component of the ester according to the invention is a monofunctional C₁ to C₈ alkanol, preferably a C₁ to C₃ alkanol, for example methanol, ethanol, n- or i-propanol, butanols, pentanols, hexanols, heptanols and octanols. Methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and i-propanol are preferred.

Die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Esters erfolgt nach an sich bekannten Veresterungsverfahren. Liegt der Siedepunkt der eingesetzten Alkoholkomponente unter dem Schmelzpunkt des zu veresternden oxidierten Polyethylenwachses, so empfiehlt sich die Anwendung eines Lösungsverfahrens. So kann beispielsweise ein Gemisch aus oxidiertem Polyethylenwachs, überschüssigem Alkohol und einem geeigneten Lösemittel in Gegenwart eines Veresterungskatalysators solange erhitzt werden, bis der gewünschte Umsetzungsgrad erreicht ist. Vorteilhaft ist dabei die Verwendung eines wasserentziehenden Mittels, beispielsweise eines Molekularsiebes. Als Lösemittel werden bevorzugt unpolare Kohlenwasserstoffe wie beispielsweise Toluol, Xylol oder höhersiedende Benzine eingesetzt. Als Katalysator kommt ein für Veresterungen üblicherweise eingesetztes protonaktives Reagenz wie beispielsweise Schwefelsäure, p-Toluolsulfonsäure, Methansulfonsäure, sauer eingestellte Ionentauscher etc. in Frage.The ester according to the invention is prepared by esterification processes known per se. If the boiling point of the alcohol component used is below the melting point of the oxidized polyethylene wax to be esterified, the use of a solution process is recommended. For example, a mixture of oxidized polyethylene wax, excess alcohol and a suitable solvent in the presence of an esterification catalyst until the desired degree of conversion is reached. It is advantageous to use a dehydrating agent, for example a molecular sieve. Non-polar hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene or higher-boiling petrol are preferably used as solvents. A protonally active reagent typically used for esterifications, such as, for example, sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, acidified ion exchanger, etc., can be used as the catalyst.

Soll mit einem Alkohol verestert werden, dessen Siedepunkt höher liegt als der Schmelzpunkt des Säurewachses, so kann zweckmäßig in der Weise verfahren werden, daß man die Schmelze des Wachses mit Alkohol und Katalysator versetzt und unter Abdestillieren des Reaktionswassers die Umsetzung bis zum gewünschten Veresterungsgrad führt.If it is to be esterified with an alcohol whose boiling point is higher than the melting point of the acid wax, the procedure can advantageously be such that alcohol and catalyst are added to the melt of the wax and the reaction is carried out to the desired degree of esterification by distilling off the water of reaction.

Die Umsetzung wird so geführt, daß der fertige Ester eine Säurezahl von 0 bis 40, vorzugsweise 1 bis 20 mg KOH/g und eine Verseifungszahl von 15 bis 160, vorzugsweise 50 bis 130 mg KOH/g besitzt.The reaction is carried out so that the finished ester has an acid number of 0 to 40, preferably 1 to 20 mg KOH / g and a saponification number of 15 to 160, preferably 50 to 130 mg KOH / g.

Der erfindungsgemäße Ester ist ein fester Stoff und besitzt eine Schmelzviskosität bei 140°C von 50 bis 2000, vorzugsweise 100 bis 800 mPa.s.The ester according to the invention is a solid substance and has a melt viscosity at 140 ° C. of 50 to 2000, preferably 100 to 800 mPa.s.

Der Ester wird als Gleitmittel in thermoplastischen Kunststoff-Formmassen eingesetzt, beispielsweise in Polyvinylchlorid, welches durch die bekannten Verfahren hergestellt werden kann (z.B. Suspensions-, Masse-, Emulsionspolymerisation), Mischpolymere des Vinylchlorids mit bis zu 30 Gew.-% an Comonomeren wie z.B. Vinylacetat, Vinylidenchlorid, Vinylether, Acrylnitril, Acrylsäureester, Maleinsäuremono- oder -diestern oder Olefinen, sowie Pfropfpolymerisaten des Polyvinylchlorids und Polyacrylnitril.The ester is used as a lubricant in thermoplastic molding compounds, for example in polyvinyl chloride, which can be prepared by the known processes (e.g. suspension, bulk, emulsion polymerization), copolymers of vinyl chloride with up to 30% by weight of comonomers such as, for example Vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, vinyl ether, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid esters, maleic acid mono- or diesters or olefins, as well as graft polymers of polyvinyl chloride and polyacrylonitrile.

Bevorzugt sind Polyvinylchlorid, Polyvinylidenchlorid, Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymere, Polyacrylnitril, Copolymere aus Vinylchlorid und Vinylacetat sowie daraus abgeleitete Pfropfpolymere oder Mischungen der vorgenannten Thermoplaste.Polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyacrylonitrile, copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate and graft polymers derived therefrom or mixtures of the aforementioned thermoplastics are preferred.

Die Zugabemenge beträgt 0,05 bis 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das Polymere. Basiert die Formmasse auf M- oder S-PVC, so beträgt die Zugabemenge vorzugsweise 0,05 bis 1 Gew.-%, basiert sie auf E-PVC, so ist die Menge vorzugsweise 1,0 bis 5, insbesondere 2 bis 4 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf das Polymere.The amount added is 0.05 to 5% by weight, based on the polymer. If the molding composition is based on M- or S-PVC, the amount added is preferably 0.05 to 1% by weight. If it is based on E-PVC, the amount is preferably 1.0 to 5, in particular 2 to 4,% by weight. -%, each based on the polymer.

Das Einmischen des erfindungsgemäßen Esters in die Polymeren geschieht auf die übliche Weise während der Herstellung der Formmassen.The ester according to the invention is mixed into the polymers in the customary manner during the production of the molding compositions.

Neben dem erfindungsgemäßen Ester kann die Kunststoff-Formmasse zusätzlich Füllstoffe, Wärmestabilisatoren, Lichtschutzmittel, Antistatika, Flammschutzmittel, Verstärkungsstoffe, Pigment- und/oder Farbstoffe, Verarbeitungshilfsmittel, zusätzlich Gleit- und Trennmittel, Schlagzähmacher, Antioxidantien, Treibmittel oder optische Aufheller in den üblichen Mengen enthalten.In addition to the ester according to the invention, the plastic molding composition can additionally contain fillers, heat stabilizers, light stabilizers, antistatic agents, flame retardants, reinforcing materials, pigments and / or dyes, processing aids, additionally lubricants and release agents, impact modifiers, antioxidants, blowing agents or optical brighteners in the customary amounts .
